Keep reading to know more about vitamin C and its benefits!
Why is topical vitamin C important for skin health?
Topical vitamin C is a dermatologist-favorite skin care product that science until now has shown that it helps to slow down early aging, prevents sun damage, and improves the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne.
Since vitamin C is an antioxidant, it fights dangerous free radicals (toxins) that enter your body through natural bodily functions like metabolism or even the contact of your skin with outside sources like air pollution and UV irradiation. Topical vitamin C application can fight free radicals and potentially improve the overall appearance of the skin.
One study showed that daily use of a vitamin C formulation for at least three months improved the appearance of fine and coarse wrinkles of the face and neck, as well as improved overall skin texture and appearance.
What do you need to know when you buy a vitamin C product?
A lot of skincare products or serums may contain vit. C.
The potency and effects of vitamin C on the skin can vary depending on how it is formulated.
Consider buying vit. C products from your dermatologist’s clinic or a reputable online retailer with a clinical formulation that contains an active form of vit. C (for example, L-ascorbic acid), which has a strength of 10% to 20%, and a pH lower than 3.5, as this combination has been studied in clinical trials.
Vit. C has only been studied in adults and is not recommended for children!
